📋 About This Mod
I really enjoy mods that add new enemy types to fight, so Kaldewing's Bandit Brawler's mod was a great pickup for me. However, I ended up finding them to be less threatening than I typically like for my combat. This is where Simon Magus' Hand to Hand mod comes in. Adding these new perks to the Brawler enemies turns them into extremely deadly foes, and I was so happy with the result that I wanted to share it with others.
Details:
-
[]Modifies all Brawler NPCs to scale with the Hand to Hand skill (vanilla Lockpicking)
[
]Distributes appropriate Hand to Hand perks to all new Brawler NPCs - ESP-FE
Installation:
This mod should be safe to install at any time. I do not recommend uninstalling this at any time during a playthrough, and will be unable to provide any troubleshooting assistance if you decide to do so.
